Cécile McLorin Salvant

What a joy to have her back: Cécile McLorin Salvant, who last visited us two years ago, captivates us with her passion for storytelling and the connections between vaudeville, blues, theater, jazz, baroque and folklore. Salvant is an eclectic curator who unearths rarely recorded, forgotten songs with strong narratives, unexpected twists and humor. The late Jessye Norman described Salvant as "a unique voice, carried by an intelligence and consummate musicality that makes every note she sings shine".
